The photo does not do justice to the rich red color of this yarn. I was originally going to call this sweater Scarlet, but that color just didn't seem rich enough. Years ago I had a red color pencil in my collection and the color name on the side of the pencil was Crimson Lake. It was a wonderful red. A college friend of mine even wrote a poem about that color, which she wrote out in beautiful calligraphy. We were into calligraphy back then, and Dungeons and Dragons. I know that this violates my monogamous knitting habit that I have been practicing, but I really needed some simple knitting to put in my work bag, which has not had any knitting in it since I finished the body of Goldenrod. I knew that I would be doing some document reading this week, and I really find that document reading goes so much better if I have some mindless knitting in my hands.
This is the same design as Goldenrod.
